Impressive Pro Field for Inaugural 70.3 Memphis

Friday 01 October 2021

In its first year, St. Jude IRONMAN 70.3 Memphis will break ground for the inaugural event held in West Tennessee. As a late season race, athletes can expect an abundance of family activities in Memphis. With the event centered at Shelby Farms Park, there is something for everyone, even those not racing. From paddleboarding, to horseback riding, or playing on the Woodland Discovery Playground, everyone is sure to have a great time. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, headquartered in Memphis, is a proud partner of this inaugural event.

The 1.2-mile swim will take place in the clear man-made waters of Hyde Lake in Shelby Farms Park. Hyde Lake offers a welcoming environment to new athletes as the shoreline is easily accessible from anywhere in the lake. Spectators can follow their athletes by walking the perimeter of the lake on paved paths. Once out of the water, athletes will take on the 56-mile bike course that traverses the rolling hills of Shelby and Fayette Counties, before returning to Shelby Farms Park. The spectator friendly run course weaves through the paved and packed gravel trails of the park. Athletes will likely get a view of the buffalo herd that resides at the park while on the run course.

St. Jude IRONMAN 70.3 Memphis offers slots to the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.

Professionals compete for $50,000 prize purse plus 1 MPRO/ 1 WPRO World Champ Slots.
